<p class="MsoNormal">Ik sta op het punt om een nieuwe tablet te

van gegevens van OSM. 3G zie ik niet zitten.</p>

It looks like a lapalissade, but a GPS receiver is only used to know
where the device is.<br>
This means that without GPS you will be able to see maps but that
you will have to swipe them yourself as you move instead of the
program doing it according to the GPS.<br>
This means that you, most sorrily, won't be able to track a trip
(make a GPX trace) or locate a point.<br>
There are also surprising applications. With GPS, you may subscribe
to a server that will (hopefully) tell you where your device is if
you lost it, and even erase your data if you give up getting it
back. But that needs 3G.<br>
<br>
3G is not necessary for most OSM based applications. They use
"offline" maps (stored inside the device).<br>
For other applications that must access the Internet to get the map,
it's possible to put and lock the data in cache while at home before
the trip. 3G is only needed to compute a new route or to access
POIs.<br>
<br>
As Marc said, a tablet may be over-sized. As I don't really need
one very much but wanted to enjoy Android, I bought what they call a
phablet, a clone of Samsung Note i9220 aka n7000, which, with a 5.5
screen, is half way between a <b>ph</b>one and a t<b>ablet</b>.<br>
<br>
Hoping this will help, enjoy.<br>
